View of the Zugspitze from the Eibsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just as beautiful as the view up is the view from above down to the Eibsee. When the sun shines on the Zugspitze in the evening and makes it shimmer red - or when the haze hangs below the top after the rain, but the top is sunny, then it is at its most beautiful.

September 22, 2025,Grainau Runde um den Eibsee am Hang entlang

Today we walked around Lake Eibsee. We chose the sloped path in the forest. It offers beautiful views of the lake along the way. The sloped path is more challenging than the lakeside path. On the western shore of the lake, the path is a narrow forest path with roots and rocks. We crossed several scree slopes, some of which …

Short final round, almost free of altitude difference.
The Eibsee is amazingly colorful, which makes it very interesting.
From the half about a way picked out above the lake, which turned out to be a wonderful single trail.
Small but nice. 🙂

So if you don't want to hike around the Eibsee with the large stream of tourists, this tour is a very good alternative.

May 20, 2023,Wanderung bei Garmisch um den Eibsee

Today there was a short hike around the Eibsee with some of our loved ones. Away from the usual mass tourism route on a high-altitude climb, we didn't meet a soul.
The path is great to walk on, only sturdy shoes are recommended. When we arrived at the bottom we had to let ourselves drift with the crowds😩.

Walked around the Eibsee today. Temperature 8 degrees, fog, rain.....cold...but mythical impressions can also arise. It's something...luckily I was dressed warmly...😉....the mountain path was really good...adventurous and totally varied.👏..with a few obstacles....

September 1, 2022,Wanderung um den Eibsee

At the start of the short vacation, we went to the beautiful Eibsee after the drive. Since I didn't feel like a 100% gravel path, I integrated a mountain path into the planning and we were rewarded with a nice, narrow path - and also with deserted paths - until we completed the loop again on the heavily frequented main …

September 12, 2023,🥾🥾 erstmal gemütlich angehen lassen ⛰️ 💚 Der Eibsee im Allgäu Garmisch Partenkirchen. Auf dem Höhenweg einmal rum

With the Zugspitzbahn 🚆 to Grainau, changing to the cog railway 🚊 to Eibsee 🏞 ... to get used to it 🥾🥾 we wanted to take it easy ... since we didn't like it on the normal hiking trails, we first went on an MTB trail, then got on the mountain hiking trail 👌 ... both to our liking, all …

December 31, 2022,Im Banne des Zugspitz - Eibseerunde

Now you have to be very brave: Each picture shows the highest 🏔️ in Germany. But it is also a distinctive croissant!
Before the big New Year's party, there's still a walk around the Eibsee today. On the upper circular path, where there are rather no dogs and prams and fewer people at all. Highly recommended. If you don't want …
